I just recently got my Kona Blue and I’ve been tracking your wheel posts for reference. I appreciate you sharing pics.Threw them on…I really like the wheels but they don’t have the same impact that they had when I saw them on the Mach1. Still, I expect that they will grow on me.
I may hold onto my SVE SP2 wheels for track use. They’re significantly lighter! The rears with 325/30/19 (a slightly wider tire) is 12% lighter than the M1HP wheels with the 315s.
Cool! I'm glad my posts have helped!
Hey there, I meant to ask the difference in color between the oem M1 wheels (tarnished something) and your SVE’s graphite. I’d imagine the graphite they use on the SP2’s is the same on their M1 reps.Cool! I'm glad my posts have helped!
I don't know off hand how the offset/poke compares between the OEM and the SVE version but if the dimensions are the same as the SVE SP2 (PP2 clones) that I was running previously, the poke in the rear is about the same, the front OEM wheels stick out noticeably farther. IMO, I prefer the look of the OEM offset but you will probably want stone guards (which come on the Mach 1 HP cars for a good reason).
Kona tips? LOL... keep it clean (obvious) since it shows dirt almost as easily as black.
Take a moment to appreciate how it looks near sunset. The amount of purple that shows up under certain lighting conditions is surprising and beautiful.
The rest is subjective...but IMO, it's one of the nicest and most sophisticated paint colors that Ford has ever offered. My 2011 GT was also Kona Blue...I've been looking at this paint for almost exactly 12 years now (brought my 2011 home on 8/12/10) and I love it more than ever.
Thanks @Dave2013M3
Gonna need a fender flare or zl1 gt500 fender extensions to keep your quarters protected from flying rocks.
Thanks @2022 Mach 1 , good suggestion. Still not sure if I'm going to jump the gun, but I might get one of this anyways.
they will be on the poke side of things but will fit. You need camber plates it's kind of strange to spend 2k on suspension but not spend 200$ on camber plates. I can assure you steeda camber plates fit no problem with the Ohlins and work great for me.
You are correct, Continental 285/30 front and 305/30 rear with Steeda Sport Progressives and camber plates. I contacted Ford Performance and that was their size recommendation, I'm pretty sure I could have went with 295/30 fronts.
